UND (6-20, 2-11) @ WIU (14-11, 5-8) 2/12 2 PM

[SWSiouxMN]

UND make it two in a row with a 78-70 win in St. Paul.  UND now looks to make it 3 in a row in Malcomb against Western Illinois.

This is an game that UND can get.  It would be a big game for UND to get as well.   A win gives them a half game lead against Omaha (if they lose) for the final spot for the Summit League tournament and a ton of momentum going into the final 4 home games of the season. 

They have shot the ball well the last 3 games, can they keep that going?

Can they rebound better than they did the first time around?

Can they finally not let Carius go off?

Game is on ESPN3

So would we hold the tiebreaker over Omaha if we both end with 3 wins? I thought that they would hold it against us due to point differential in H2H games.

I believe the next tiebreaker after head to head is record against top seeded teams.  Right now because of Omaha win against KC, they would break the tie against UND if the records were tied. 

Right now, because UND have played one less game.  A win and an Omaha loss would techincally put them in front. 

5 is the safe number for both of these teams.  If one of them can get to 5 wins, they will likely get the last spot.

They are going to have to figure out something with Barisic down low.

Exactly 

same for when your opponent is draining threes - you have to adjust your defense 

[sioux24/7]

I don’t love flopping and not standing your ground but gotta imagine one’s going to go against Barisic when he’s bullying us down low. I like the way we handle screens. Unfortunate he’s feeling it today. 

[SWSiouxMN]

It is right there for the taking UND.

One good half way from taking two on the road. 

[Nodak78]

3 fouls on T, matthews and brady

Coming out a little bit frazzled

If I am Jeter:  Minimum one post touch on every possession.

It might be time to double and live with Carius bombing it from 3

the foul situation dictates it
